I’ve decided undecided voters have low critical thinking skills and/or are attention seekers

They are trump voters who don't want to admit it.

The younger woman absolutely was not. The third guy seemed like a toss up for me. I would bet he self-identities as "libertarian".

If you are openly struggling to decide between Trump and Harris, I'd personally assume you are a closet racist at the least. But maybe these people have just been exposed to Trump and his campaign or got in the wrong crowd a bit, maybe they are now struggling to leave that camp but want to. Maybe they want to vote Trump for whatever fucking reason, but they know he is vile really, so won't publicly admit it. Who knows.

So, having actually watched the interviews with these people, I'm pretty comfortable saying the younger woman is not a Trump supporter. She seemed to maybe not be the most intelligent person, but that's not a super fair assessment from a few brief Q&As. She was becoming visibly upset by some of his rhetoric, abortion related in particular.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they were led to an answer of "we're still undecided" by the interviewers in conclusion to broadcast a non-partisan appearance.
